Big congrats to Heather Danhof and @FirasMidani and the Rob Britton lab @BrittonTML on getting this work out. It was a massive project and remarkable demonstration of microbe-gut-brain function and I look forward to see where this science goes forward. @tmcddc @BCMFromtheLabs Infant gut microbiomes contribute to metabolic states that impact brain function biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

@AP_Abacus This is why we are here. Gets better every day.

Being a father and a husband are the most uniquely rewarding experiences available to any man. Every single day is filled with purpose.

Children who have strong, consistent relationships with their grandparents often experience better emotional wellbeing and greater resilience. According to research highlighted by Harvard’s Center on the Developing Child, dependable and nurturing relationships act as a critical buffer against childhood stress. These supportive bonds help stabilize a child’s nervous system, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen healthy brain development. Grandparents frequently provide exactly this steady, caring presence. Studies have shown that children who regularly spend time with their grandparents often display lower levels of depression, healthier stress responses, stronger social skills, and greater empathy.

Congrats to Greg Guthrie on his exciting new model and important finding for nutritional support of children with biliary atresia.

@elonmusknews30 yes

@KCKlatt Congrats Kevin this is exciting news and wish you the best in Toronto!

Really excited to announce that I've accepted an Assistant Professor position in the Department of Nutritional Sciences in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto! Very excited to venture north (🥶) & build out my own research group in human nutrition &metabolism 🥳

Well done gang congrats!

3 of our graduate students were selected for talks

Big congrats to @MarkHermanMD and the the new Houston NORC leadership team! Exciting to have another NIDDK research center along with our Texas Medical Center Digestive Diseases Center @tmcddc on campus.

Congrats Mindy well deserved award!

Congrats Chris this looks like a fun new journey for you!

Our new prospective piece is out. Such a fun project @madisonstrine @KStDenis_ME and Brett Vahkal. @YalePediatrics @YaleMed So much to learn about early life immunity
